Hey, a shooter is
at large in Brussels.

An attack on the
Van den Driessche Research Park

left two scientists
seriously injured

and one American killed.

Dr. Christopher Staton,

a molecular biologist
who made a name for himself

as a PhD student at Stanford

as a pioneer
in mRNA vaccine technology.

He'd been making
advancements for years,

even before the current
pandemic brought his work

to the forefront.

Dr. Staton moved to Belgium
eight months ago

to collaborate with an
international research group

to try to prepare
for whatever mutation

of the virus might come next.

The entire team was present
during the attack.

That's Luc Michaud
in the middle.

- Do you know him?
- I know of him.

Dr. Michaud has been
the highest profile

health policy advisor to the EU
throughout the pandemic.

He's basically Europe's version
of Anthony Fauci.

Then he may have been
the target.

It's possible.

Dr. Michaud's done
a lot of good,

but he's
a controversial figure.

He's never shied away
from criticizing politicians

and even other scientists
who disagree

with his recommendations.

So this could be
a personal attack--

a disgruntled lab worker
settling a score.

Or it could be
a targeted political act,

with Michaud
as the intended victim.

Then I say we hit it.

All right, Brussels is
the de facto capital of the EU,

so Europol is gonna
be all over this one.

We're gonna need Jaeger.

I can't help but feel
partially responsible.

Why is that?

Several months ago,
Dr. Staton and Dr. Michaud,

they had reported
to my department

that they had received
death threats online.

Hateful messages, but
nothing particularly specific,

so we were unable
to take action.

not sure we've found them all.

And nobody got a look

I'm afraid they were all
too panicked.

You'd think if somebody
wanted to shoot Dr. Staton,

there would've been
an easier way to do it.

it's an angle we consider.
- No.

I may have my enemies
out in the world,

but any scientist
who has worked here,

they understand the true value
of what we're doing.

Why don't you tell us
about those enemies?

Anytime I make an appearance
on the television

recommending stricter
prevention methods,

I am swarmed by harassment
on the Internet.

If I am honest,
I have probably done

more than my fair share of
publicly mocking those people

that believe that
they know more about

fighting a pandemic
than the scientists.

And these online
exchanges escalated

to threats of violence?

Yes.

From their side.
- But you don't know

who owned the accounts
making these threats?

I do not.

Sadly, for me and a lot
of COVID scientists,

the threats are now so common

that they've become
background noise.

I'd like access
to your social media

so I can track down

the threatening accounts.
- Please.

stooped to their level.

The most important thing

is that our family
is all together.

Help me to understand this, Lieutenant,

because I'm looking
at this file

and all I see are red flags--

a history of physical altercations

with other soldiers,
reprimands for racial slurs.

He uses images
of liberal politicians

for target practice.

Now how do you see all this and
not take any action whatsoever?

I took action.

I referred Corporal Jans
to military intelligence,

and they flagged him
as a Level 3

potential threat
for terrorism.

Well,
I think you can go ahead

and raise that to Level 4.

Given what we know now,
obviously I would've

handled the situation differently.

- Really?
- Yes, really.

you only demoted Jans

we find this guy, right?

Yes. Yes, I agree.

Look, I served, okay?

I know how a blind eye
sometimes gets turned

to extremist politics
in the armed forces.

I get it, it's an increasing
problem everywhere.

Now if Patrick Jans' worldview
didn't trouble

his fellow soldiers,
maybe that's because

some of them
agreed with him.

And if so,
maybe he told them

what he was planning
to do next.

Snipers often work in pairs.

Someone helps him

watches their back.

Did he have anyone like that?

Yes, he did.

Follow me.

Thank you for taking the time
to talk to us, Corporal.

My orders are to answer
your questions

fully and truthfully, sir.

And I intend to.

According to
your Lieutenant,

Jans was training you.
- Yes, ma'am.

I've learned a lot from him.

We arrived at
the base together

and we've been friends
ever since.

You had each other's back.

Always.

He confided in you?

- Sometimes.
- Did he tell you

he was planning on robbing
the weapons locker?

No, ma'am.

But you've heard him
threaten violence.

He was my
shooting instructor.

It comes up.
- Did he ever mention

Luc Michaud
or Christopher Staton?

Definitely Michaud.

He hated that guy.

I don't recognize
the other one.

What did he say
about Dr. Michaud?

The gist was that
he would like him

to shut his fat mouth,
ma'am--

Corporal.

You have to understand,
Patrick chose this career

because he knows that
freedom is something

worth fighting for.

Listening to the government,
the so-called experts,

continually cower and surrender
to a disease is infuriating.

If Corporal Jans really did
what you say he did,

he's a disgrace

In addition
to the sniper rifle,

he took a grenade launcher.

With the launchers,
he was strapped enough

to take out the entire lab.

He could cross Staton, Michaud,

working from the shadows.

Everything

Look at them,

None of the options are good,

the shooter's campsite.

He's most likely
still in that area.

The best time to move is now.

You're making a mistake.

Hunkering down
isn't any safer.

Your American scientist
was shot from half a mile away.

It didn't matter
that he was indoors.

This is the only place
Jans knows to look for them.

They're safer
anywhere but here.

I want to cover the family
as you transfer them.

The doctors are very good.

They tell me I'm going
to make a full recovery.

I plan to hold them to it.

He'll be back in the lab
before you know it.

That's a relief for us all.

I have the miracle
of modern medicine to thank.

I got to wake up
from this nightmare

with my family at my side.

Breaks my heart Christopher
couldn't say the same.

I suspect
the scientific community

is going to feel that loss
for a very long time.

Yes.

And Marc Claes as well.

Brilliant young man.

I was shocked to find out
that he was involved.

So were we.

Can't believe a student
of mine would share

the same politics
as Patrick Jans.

It wasn't about politics.

Once we learned
his online alias,

we found dozens of posts
advocating for

an alternate vaccine technology

called polymeric
micro-needle arrays.

Yes.

Marc got very excited
by that idea several years ago.

It was the basis
of his doctoral thesis.

But Christopher and I took
the team in another direction.

Well, apparently
he couldn't let it go.

When he wasn't in the lab,
he spent his time online

raging that
the scientific "old guard"

needed to step aside.

When he found
about Patrick Jans,

he saw an opportunity to get
that revolution started.

All he had to do was reaffirm
Jans' conspiracies

and let the soldier's anger
and sense of victimhood

do the rest.

It's worse than
a war on science.

It's deliberate disinformation
being used as a weapon.

I can assure you,
we will not be giving up.

My team and I, we will just
have to work twice as hard.

But not just yet.

Come, come, my love.

Now, I'm going to tell
all of these people...

- Excuse me.
- How proud I am of you.

Papa, no.

It's okay.

Of course I'm glad
no one else was killed,

but that was purely by luck.

You allowed Jans' accomplice
to leave the safe house,

which put everyone at risk.

Katrin, I understand the desire
to wipe the slate clean,

but it was your judgment

that put us here
in the first place.

You approved the order.

At your recommendation.

What's going on here?

None of your concern.

A failure in your judgment that
put both our jobs in jeopardy.

Oh, you cannot
put that on her.

Scott,
it's not necessary, really.

No, no.

Anyone would've
made the same call.

At that point, she thought
she was protecting Claes

and that was the mission--
we all did.

Trust me, Agent Forrester.

If I had the power
to reprimand you

for this disaster as well,
I would.

We neutralized the target

without any
additional lives lost.

If you want to write us up
for ignoring protocol, fine.

But you're the one who decided
to move the scientist.

That is what got him shot.

Save your breath.

I've already spoken
to the Executive Director.

It's done.

I've recommended
Ms. Jaeger's immediate

and permanent removal.

You were never here
to supervise me.

You came looking
for a reason to fire me.

- Katrin, I'm--
- And when you couldn't

find one,
you exaggerated the facts

in a way that's no different
than what these

truth-averse fools are doing.

It may take a week or two

to work through
the bureaucratic system,

but make no mistake.

You're fired.
